Rings Extra Large 250

An elevated bowl height of 25cm (roughly 10 inches) is built for solid, athletic, medium-to-large dog breeds standing approximately 50cm to 60cm (20 to 24 inches) tall at the shoulder.

At 25cm, the bowl aligns cleanly with the middle-to-lower chest area, eliminating the need for these taller, leggier dogs to sprawl their front paws or bend awkwardly at the neck to reach their food and water.

Here are the main categories and breeds that benefit most from a 25cm elevation:

1. Deep-Chested & Leggy Breeds

Taller medium breeds with deep, narrow chests are natural gulpers. Elevating their dish to 25cm keeps the esophagus straight, allowing food to pass smoothly into the stomach while reducing the amount of air swallowed during fast eating.

• Border Collies
• Australian Shepherds
• tandard Poodles (Smaller to medium adults)
• English Springer Spaniels
• Siberian Huskies (Smaller females/medium adults)
• 
  Vizslas (Smaller adults)
  

2. Athletic Sighthounds & Deep-Hinged Breeds

Dogs with long legs and tucked waists have to awkward-bend or "giraffe stance" their legs outward to reach floor-level bowls. A 25cm elevation supports a relaxed, natural standing position that protects their elbows and wrists.

• Whippets (Larger/taller males)
• Lurchers (Medium-sized mixes)
• Salukis (Smaller adults)
• Ibizan Hounds (Smaller adults)
  

3. Broad & Heavy-Set Medium Breeds

For sturdy, thick-necked medium dogs, bending down to floor level places high mechanical stress on the cervical spine and shoulders. Raising the bowl to 25cm lets them maintain a level spine through mealtime.

• Boxers (Smaller/medium females)
• American Staffordshire Terriers / AmStaffs
• Olde English Bulldogges
• Australian Cattle Dogs (Taller/larger adults)
• Bull Terriers (Standard)
  

Sizing Check: Measure from the ground to the lower edge of the dog's chest. If that height sits comfortably between 23cm and 27cm, a 25cm stand is the ideal match for their frame.
